Get a load of Oliver's latest planned movies, from www.imdb.com:

"As of 2004, Oliver stone is attached to direct several projects. "Spite House", which he wrote and will direct about Vietnam. "The Fountainhead", based on the Ayn Rand novel. "Lennon", a biopic of John Lennon, and a biopic of Margaret Thatcher, and a biopic of sorts about an attempted assassination plot by the Republican party against FDR in the 1930s. "

He was going to do an adapation of "Brought to Light" or a similar work in 1987/88 but dropped it when he realized that he would not get it completed/distributed in time for the 1988 Bush campaign and election.

That creep lacks the mental acumen to sit in the same room as an old ragged copy of "The Fountainhead", never mind direct a movie based on Ayn's work.

Like what happened to Hubbards "Battlefield Earth", I smell another Hollywood demolition project in the making.

It takes time and money to turn a great work of art into trash, and I have no doubt that this dog (Oldiver Stoner) has both in abundance.

Lennon "imagined all the people", and sadly met one of them. Too bad for the man who was more popular than Jesus. Howard Rourke would ignore Oldiver; apparently I lack his direction. The sad part is that Howard lives, and Stoner has been dead for decades... Now a dead man shall kill a man who never physically lived..?

I also heard he is positioning himself to run for DNC chair. He would fit right in.
